What does the security threat assessment consist of?

The assessment includes checks against criminal history records, terrorist watch lists, and immigration status. If no adverse information is disclosed, TSA typically completes a security threat assessment in less than ten days. However, processing time increases for an applicant with a criminal history or other disqualifying information, and is further lengthened if the applicant initiates an appeal or waiver. This security threat assessment is the same for those applying for, transferring, or renewing a HAZMAT endorsement (HME) on their state-issued commercial drivers licenses (CDL).

Will the results of my threat assessment be shared with my employer?

If TSA determines that an applicant poses an imminent threat to transportation or national security, TSA may notify the applicant's employer. Generally, TSA will not provide the reasons for a disqualification to an employer. However, if TSA has reliable information concerning an imminent threat posed by an applicant and providing limited threat information to an employer, facility, vessel owner, or Coast Guard Captain of the Port would minimize the risk, then TSA would provide such information.

What if I have already completed a comparable threat assessment?

A reduced fee of $105.25 will be made available for applicants who will not require the security threat assessment. The reduced fee is available for the following:

  • applicants who hold a valid Hazardous Materials Endorsement (HME) issued after May 31, 2005,
  • applicants who hold a valid Free and Secure Trade (FAST) card,
  • applicants who hold a Merchant Mariner Document (MMD) issued after February 3, 2003, or
  • applicants who hold a Merchant Marine License (MML) issued after January 13, 2006.


For those applicants seeking to pay the reduced fee, they must present their HME, FAST card, MMD, or MML (meeting the requirements outlined above) at the time of enrollment.

Message From President - January 2011
As I prepared to write my first article for the NJMTA membership as the acting President, my thoughts are focused on the recent tragedy that occurred in Arizona where a Congressman was seriously wounded and 6 others murdered at a political rally. I find myself asking just what is happening to our country.
